It is a scientific fact that human beings have not tapped
into their full potential. These tools, when applied, get you
in the driver’s seat of life! We show you how to access these
principles and change the game, getting you ready to do
whatever it takes to awaken all that you are; to all that is.
The message of Self-Mastery and Greatness has been
around for centuries. We live in a world where science
has now merged with philosophy and spiritual principles,
where everything you need to evolve into Greatness is
available to you.
Chances are you’ve heard some of these principles,
but many are not yet integrated into your way of being.
Not yet...
Self-Mastery is understanding you are the CEO in your life.
C.E.O. is our acronym for Consciously Embracing Oneself.
The reality is, approximately 97% of what we do within
any day is driven by our unconscious patterns and habits:
playing the same thoughts, emotions and beliefs on auto-
repeat. A wise man once said: “Doing the same thing over
and over again, expecting a different result is the definition
of insanity.” I think Einstein was on to something!
Until we become aware of these patterns and habits
and live deliberately, with new awareness that we have a
choice, we get what we have always had. To change that,
we need to do something different.
The tools provided in our programs are designed to
educate, inspire and empower you.
Educated: with new ideas, leading edge concepts
& scientifically proven success techniques;
Inspired: with new perceptions that have you
take action;
Empowered: with tools guaranteed to get YOU to
GREATNESS!
These tools will help change your current paradigms.
Paradigms are mental institutions that hold you back from
being in your Greatness. We provide game-changing
programs to help you achieve positive, measurable
changes in your attitudes, behaviours and beliefs.
Propelling you into GREATNESS in all areas of life!
GREATNESS is within us all and with the right tools, you can take control and create a masterpiece.
“The level of thinking that got us here is no longer enough.” Albert Einstein

The core philosophy we teach at The Greatness Academy is The Art of Self-Leadership.
What is self-leadership?
There is a person with whom you spend more time than
any other. A person who has more influence over you than
anyone else; and has the ability to interfere with or support
your growth. This ever-present companion is your Self.
Greatness is an outcome. It is generated from within.
Self-Leadership is the name of the game. Self-Leaders are
empowered individuals who are self-aware, transformed in
thinking and have the tools to THRIVE in Life!
Simply put, Self-Leadership is represented by these few
simple words: If it’s to be, its up to me.
Greatness is the result!
the self-leadership Model
You are the creator of your life’s masterpiece. It is your
thoughts, feelings and beliefs, as well your overall
wellbeing, which determines your life story.
To be the C.E.O. (Consciously Embracing Oneself) in
your life, is to be aligned within your IQ, EQ and SQ
encapsulated within your well-being. This is illustrated in
the chart below.
the result
When this balance is achieved, you gain a richer, more
fulfilling life: connected, present and alive. With more self-
awareness, achieving your goals, feeling more balanced,
less stress, more authentic and greater self-confidence.
The Self-Leadership Model
IQ – I THINK A mind trained to be present,
clear, lucid and focusing on positive and rational thought.
EQ – I FEEL The ability to identify, assess and
control the emotions of self, choose to respond and not react.
SQ – I AM The positive and supporting meaning
and believe you have about yourself and the world.

Our philosophy for business GREATNESS is encapsulated within The Alignment Formula.
So often in business the focus is just on skill. Is it enough? Let me ask – if you have all the skill in the world, and a limited attitude or mind set, will you be successful?
If you had all the skill in the world and you didn’t fit the
vision, value and culture of the business, it’s like trying to fit
a square peg in a round hole. Would you be successful?
So what does this tell us? That WILL (mind set and
attitude) and FIT (alignment to the vision, values and
culture) are essential for business success.
It is when the three areas converge that we are aligned
to Business and Professional Greatness, in the driver’s
seat and kicking some serious goals, going from good to
GREAT!
“Professional Greatness is not an accident; it is the result of deliberate commitment in developing knowledge and expertise, an exceptional attitude, and united in the vision and values of the business ethos.”– Lara Wilson
SKILL – Professional expertise: Knowledge,
technical, competency, task and process driven activities.
Leadership expertise: A developed capacity to enhance
performance and encourage the best alignment to employee
roles with an ability to move, engage and inspire people to
align and follow the business blueprint.
WILL – Mind set & Attitude: EQ, self-responsibility,
Self-leadership, relationship management, effective
communication, enthusiasm, confidence, strategic and
creative thinking. Emotions are involved in everything we do.
Emotionally intelligent people recognise this and manage their
emotions rather than being managed by them.
FIT – Vision, Value & Culture: Goal setting, motivation,
creating the wow, respect, core success, managing perceptions
and the art of enrolment. Team alignment to vision, values
and culture acts as an anchor for all decisions, they are the
compass by which you chart your course of action.

Greatness is an outcome. It is generated from within.
Self-Leadership is the name of the game. Self-Leaders are
empowered individuals who are self-aware, transformed in
thinking and have the tools to THRIVE in Life! Greatness is
the result! And what is greatness, Dreams to Reality.
In this Greatness Guide I will share with you 9 principles, that when applied, will change the game. Each principle is represented within the acronym of G.R.E.A.T.N.E.S.S.
Each principle also reflects a Paradigm shift. Think of a
Paradigm Shift as a change from one way of thinking
to another. It’s a revolution, a transformation, a sort of
metamorphosis. It does not just happen, but rather it is
driven by possibilities of change.

Give yourself permission to dream the dream. Know your destination. Face Everything And Rise.
If we do nothing, nothing changes. If it doesn’t challenge
you it doesn’t change you. And to change, we have to do
something different. This is why we often don’t change...
because when we do, we are usually outside of our
comfort zone. We step into the vulnerability zone.
When we are in our vulnerability, we feel raw and exposed.
Our greatest fears are activated; not being liked, not
feeling safe, being criticised and losing control. And yet
vulnerability is the most beautiful human expression. It’s
our willingness to be seen.
Historically, the ‘Fight-Flight-Freeze’ response is a
physiological reaction that occurs when there is a
perceived threat to our survival. This early evolutionary
programming plays games with us! Most often, fear is an
illusion; it is a constraint within our mind.
F.E.A.R. as an acronym is commonly described as:
False Evident Appearing Real.
We are left with 2 choices - Forget Everything And Run or
Face Everything And Rise. When you face your fears, you
become the person you want to be. If you run from your
fears, you’re generally not living your dream.
PARAdIGm ShIfT

Everything we need to live our full potential is already within us. Become a Greatness Warrior!
Warriors live by a disciplined set of values; a visionary code
of ethics and honour.
While the word warrior has largely been associated with
men and combat, it has also been associated within Greek
mythology – Athena the Goddess of wisdom, courage,
inspiration, justice, strength, strategy and the arts.
Bushido: literally “the way of the warrior”, is a Japanese
word for the way of the Samurai life: of courage, justice,
mercy, politeness, honesty, sincerity, honour, loyalty and
self-control.
A Greatness Warrior is committed to a journey of Self-
discovery, living in their brilliance and calling. When you
live by this code you become the CEO of your life, in the
drivers seat.
Our brain is so powerful! We just need to know how to
awaken to all that we are, and all that is. The brain is a
super highway. It’s like a computer, when we know how to
upgrade the system, we get even more powerful results.
There is a science that now proves what we focus on
expands, that we can change, that we can rewire our brain
and create new pathways to live our dreams.
The first step is to recognise you have the power to
change. To start living your warrior code, continually
striving to be the best you can be. Knowing your world is
filled with infinite possibilities!

A leopard CAN change its spots! You CAN change.

There is no end to education.To evolve means to develop gradually;to live fully in your purpose in life.
Evolving is to raise one’s self-awareness and consciousness.
It is to come to understand the wonders of life. To realise the
true-self, free of conditioning and programming. Becoming
aware of just how unconscious we are. Spending time
contemplating the true meaning of freedom and what life
means to you is essential on your path to Greatness.
Quality questions determine the quality of your life.
Self-enquiry and self-reflection is key. When you begin
to ask good quality questions you come to realise just
how powerful you are. Able to change current limiting
paradigms, freeing your mind to new ways of being; self-
aware, transformed and empowered.
Ask questions that support your evolution to greatness.
How would I like my life to unfold? What are my dreams?
How do I want to experience my life everyday?
What characteristics and traits do I aspire towards?
As you start evolving beyond your current paradigm, your
interests and priorities will change. You will understand that
you, and only you are the Creator of your life.
Gradually as you become open to new possibilities, clearing
the emotional and mental blocks that no longer serve you,
your desires and dreams will start to manifest as your reality.
You will start creating a life surrounded with more beauty,
joy, ease, flow, love and happiness; more than you ever
thought possible. You will be free to live the kind of life you
always wanted. The results are infinite and unlimited.

Happiness is an inside job. Train your mind to see evidence of your life’s masterpiece in the making.
mINdful oR mINd full?
Did you know that on average you have over 60,000
thoughts a day? What’s surprising is that approximately
97% of what we do within any day is driven by our
unconscious patterns and habits: playing the same
thoughts and beliefs on auto-repeat!
Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing
one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly
acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts,
and sensations.
Mindfulness is a discipline and a conscious choice.
Meditation, affirmations, nature, music or anything that
inspires you, will lift your spirit. Practice filling your mind
with positive thoughts: of gratitude and visions of how
your life will be different.
Managing our thoughts is vital if we are to truly appreciate
and accept what is. When we train our thoughts to be
present in the moment, we experience a state of peace.
We can then choose to reflect on the past, with the
purpose of seeing the gifts: and look forward to see that
which we aspire toward.
Our brain is hard wired to attract more of what are looking
for. The trap is, you’re often looking for evidence of what
you don’t want… and you generally find it. When you get
in the driver’s seat and are aware of your thoughts, you
can catch the ones that no longer serve you and develop
new thoughts, focusing on what you do want. A powerful
game-changer to have you be happy in the now.
PARAdIGm ShIfT
What you focus on expands. Focus on what
you want, not what you don’t want and watch
what happens!

What three practices can you do to train your mind to focus on positive thoughts, while being present and in the moment?

“Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” – Albert Einstein

To reach new heights we must get out of our own way. Allowing our selves to make mistakes. Welcoming failure as a stepping-stone to success.
Adversity is our greatest teacher. Failure is how we learn
wisdom. Don’t let failure discourage you. The things that
challenge us the most, teach us the most.
The greatest success stories have one common theme,
that they have many failures before reaching greatness.
Success is generated from wisdom. We learn what does
and doesn’t work, what feels right, what to do and what
not to do. It’s a necessary part of our life journey.
When we allow ourselves to accept that our failures in life
are simply signposts showing a better way, we come to
understand that we are not the sum of what happens to us.
It’s what we do within any given situation that determines
our success.
ACCEPT lIfE IS mESSy.
Success is generated when you go above and beyond your
current reality (paradigm), and do whatever it takes to get
out of your own way. It’s about being prepared to take
risks and make big, glorious, fantastic mistakes. Perfection
is an illusion. A trap, holding us prisoner from achieving our
greatness.
When we learn to accept failure as a gift, we are in flow
with life. Aligned to our core belief, passion, energy, and
enthusiasm, creating and attracting success.
PARAdIGm ShIfT
If you set your goals ridiculously high and fail, you will still
fail way above everyone else’s success.

Think of a time in your life when you have ‘failed’. Now write down three positive aspects of the perceived failure:

“Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it.” – Winston Churchill

It is imperative that you nourish your wellbeing. It is the determinate of your success or failure. When we are well tuned, with a full tank, we are enthusiastic for life!
Your environment, the people you surround yourself with,
the clutter and disorganisation, all effect your state of
mind and have a direct effect on your wellbeing. As do the
books you read, the television you watch, the drama you
are involved in and your daily practices. From the moment
you wake up until the moment you sleep, these factors
determine how you will feel.

Energy, not time, is the fundamental currency of high
performance! To be fully engaged, we must be physically
energised, emotionally, mentally focused and spiritually
aligned with a purpose beyond our immediate self-interest.
Performance, health and happiness are grounded in the
skilful management of energy. For some it requires a
paradigm shift, consider the following?
• Rather than managing time, manage energy.
• Rather than seeing life as a marathon, see it as a series of
sprints.
• Rather than seeing downtime as wasted time, see it as
productive time.
When we push ourselves we are draining our energy and
at risk of burnout. Fill your energy tank as a priority!

If you’re not at your best physically, emotionally and
mentally, you are no good to anyone, least of all yourself.

Know in every moment you have a choice; you can either let it define you, destroy you or strengthen you.
Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you
CHOOSE to respond. Most times our brain is hard wired with
‘trigger points’ that have us react rather than respond. We
point the finger of blame; we play the victim, feeling powerless
and complain, or assume the role of martyr. This can create
cycles of drama that keep us trapped and disempowered.
Our EQ (emotional intelligence) will determine whether we
react (give our power away) or respond (feel empowered).
Often when we go into a reactive state, we are operating
from our head and not in our heart. Being in our heart
speaks a very different language, profoundly influencing
the way we perceive and respond to the world.
For centuries, the heart has been considered the
source of emotion, courage and wisdom. There is now a
scientific explanation in how and why the heart affects
mental clarity, creativity, emotional balance and personal
effectiveness.
When we react we activate negative emotions. Leading to
disorder in the heart’s rhythm and in the nervous system,
thereby adversely affecting the rest of the body.
In contrast, choosing to respond activates positive
emotions creating increased harmony and coherence in
the heart’s rhythm and balance in the nervous system.
When we become more emotionally intelligent and learn
to be in our heart we become empowered in our moment-
to-moment choices.
PARAdIGm ShIfT
I create my moment-by-moment reality by the choices
I make. I had the power all along.

Stay true to self. Stop worrying what other people think. Live in your unique brilliance and calling!
We each create our own meaning and belief about the
world and ourselves. Self-perceptions we then project into
how we see the world. If you belief life is difficult, it is. If
you believe life is magical, it is.
By the age of seven, we have set up so many of our beliefs
that are still in the drivers seat. And really, do we want a
seven year old calling the shots?!
SQ (Spiritual Intelligence) represents the positive meaning
and belief you have about yourself and the world. Self-LAW
is the law unto self; Self-Love, Self-Acceptance, Self-Worth.
Affirmations change the game in how we create
new pathways of meaning and belief. Affirmations
are sentences aimed to affect the conscious and the
unconscious mind. The words chosen automatically
and involuntarily create mental images into the mind.
Repeating affirmations result in new mental images,
affecting the unconscious mind, which in turn, influences
your behaviour, habits, actions and beliefs.
Self-lAw affirmation: I love and accept myself no matter
what, and know that I am worth it.
The more you come to love and accept yourself and know
your worth, the less you will care what other people think.
This sets you free to be your true self, singing your song,
living on purpose.
PARAdIGm ShIfT
It’s none of my business what other people think of me.

Is this right for you?Dreams don’t work unless you do!
Let me ask you a question - Have you ever done a Self-
development workshop and walked away feeling totally
pumped and inspired to take action, only to find you get
caught up in life again and somehow loose the momentum?
And that self-development then becomes shelf-
development? I think it’s safe to say we all have.
Living the life you love is a journey of transformation,
from the inside out. It is a process, and there is no magic
pill. Bottom line - Living in your GREATNESS requires a
willingness, conscious choice and discipline, to instil the
change you seek.
dREAmS doN’T woRk uNlESS you do!
On the road to achieving your dreams you will meet many
challenges. But most importantly you will learn the art of
truly mastering yourself. Most people get stuck within their
self-development. They want to achieve their goals but
don’t know how to get out of their own way.
Change and growth requires courage! Allowing yourself
to make mistakes; to face your fears and build confidence,
learning how to not only endure adversity, but also
strengthen and thrive as a result. To see how powerful you
are, learning to re frame limiting paradigms, doing what
ever it takes and have this fuel your inspiration… this is the
path of a Greatness Warrior!
When you know your mission and it is ignited from within,
you become inspired with a passion which causes you to be
authentic and equalised… living in your GREATNESS.
We are all capable of massive growth!
You need to have the strength and integrity to get the job
done, fulfil your promises, get out of your own way, and put
your ego aside so that you can take action. Bottom line -
Dreams don’t work unless you do! A richer more fulfilling

“Lara has opened up possibilities that I
never dreamt of. Her tools are accessible,
well thought out and brilliantly presented.
Her skill and knowledge is amazing.
Always relevant and extremely useful,
the learning is also great fun. I highly
recommend Lara and her inspiring
programs.”
– Lise Lumb
“The biggest benefit for me has been the
realisation of having choice in how I am
in any situation, a powerful tool to move
towards the life I want.”
– Marcus Shaw, Fund Accounting
“Lara’s teachings have been the glue to
put together a lot of what I have learnt
elsewhere but never quite got it. Lara
knows how to walk the walk and talk the
talk that created a greater understanding
for me, she spoke my language that
then integrated my knowledge and
experiences into real life learning’s.”
– L Cochrane, National L & D Manager
“I was initially hesitant because I have
done similar training and practiced it in
the past. Lara picked up my individual
need highlighting my desired outcome.
She was spot on. I gained new clarity and
step by step tools to refine and reboot
my small business with renewed passion.
I would recommend Lara and her
workshops to anyone who has a passion
to succeed in life.”
– Justin Pattison, CEO,
Brand Communications
“I feel stronger emotionally than I have in
years. My stress levels are also lowering,
and basically, I don’t let anything much
get to me, without working out why it
triggers me. I am amazed that so much
could be achieved in 6 months. Thank-
you so much and hope that you continue
your good work.”
– Laura Masi
“I’ve taken my business to a new level
with the expertise with Lara from The
Greatness Academy. She’s literally
turned me inside out, back to front
and stretched me in ways I never knew
possible. She’s taught me more about
myself in the last 3 months than I’ve
learned in my entire adult life. She’s
helping me grow into something I never
knew possible – oh and then there is the
business – she’s taking that somewhere
else dreams are made of – but it’s real.
Lara has many tricks in her ‘tool box’
(that’s what she calls her little bag of
tricks she carries around within). I love
this woman. She offers so many more
insights into how to make everything
run optimally – be it life, business or
personal growth – bringing holistic
solutions by education, empowerment
and inspiration.”
– Natalie Kringoudis,
CEO -The Pagoda Tree
“Let me begin by simply saying... Just
do it!! Whatever has brought you to
this point then trust in the fact that it is
meant to be. My testimonial is to tell you
that you will come out the other end a
much improved you. And let’s face it
who doesn’t want that? I spent decades
fighting an internal dialogue for so many
various reasons and within a very short
time of being guided by Lara I totally
deconstructed my old limiting beliefs and
rebuilt ‘me’ to now be the master of my
new world. Lara’s programs will do this
for you also.”
– Denis Crema
“Lara is a shining light who does not
try and make things all pretty, easy and
wishy-washy. She makes it real and
does not hide the fact that sometimes
you have to go deep to move forward.
Lara puts everything into perspective
and enables you to work through the
challenges of every day life. Through this
journey I believe I am in my ‘greatness’
and Lara has been the enabler of this.”
– Courtney Deans
“Lara’s management, training and
mentoring style defined her success in
our operations internationally. Her style is
direct, action orientated and empowering
- Lara get’s results. I highly recommend
Lara as a business consultant, trainer,
mentor and facilitator to engage in your
business strategy.”

we let go of what we believe life should be. We step into a
world of possibilities, able to hear our inner wisdom, feeling
connected into something so much more than the eye can
see, feet firm on the ground, spirit soaring, heart singing
in the recognition of the magic that is at play. Greatness is
within all of us.” – Lara Wilson
“There is no end to education, it is not that you read a book,
pass an exam, and finish with education. The whole of life,
from the moment you are born to the moment you die is a
process of learning. It is the cornerstone to GREATNESS.”
– Lara Wilson
“I believe anything is possible. I see opportunity when
others see impossibility. I take risks. I’m focused. I have grit.
I know that nothing is unrealistic. I embrace my child-like-
wonder and curiosity. I take flying leaps into the unknown.
Contribute to something bigger than myself. I create.
I learn. I grow. I do. I believe it’s never too late to start living
a dream. I AM GREATNESS.” – Lara Wilson
